The variable of interest in this experiment are gender and the action upon greeting.Gender is conceptually defined as the state of being male or female (typically used

the ‘male brain’ has its name as on average, men are better at systemising than empathising. The empathising-systemising theory was later developed into the well-known ‘extreme male brain’ theory. This theory it seemed was a large one among the psychological explanations, and so to understand it better I decided to read ‘The Essential Difference: men, women and the extreme male brain’ by Simon Baron-Cohen. This theory suggests that people who suffer from autism are more likely to have a ‘male brain’

In relation to autism, the ‘Extreme Male Brain’ (EMB) theory extends this notion by proposing that people with ASD are characterized by an extreme form of the typical male E-S cognitive profile and ‘hyper-masculinization’ of the brain (Baron-Cohen, 2002; Baron-Cohen et al.,

In a traditional fairy tale, the male is always known to come save the day by saving the damsel in distress. The handsome prince would battle himself to where the damsel would be held captive in a tower or another location. He would save her, kiss her, they would fall in love; they would be married and have a happily ever after.

The exclusive male representation of God in public and private is the result of the western ideal of gender dualism that established the myth that associated the traits of reason and power with males and traits of desire and passivity with females (108).

pretty clear that in today’s society males are the dominate figure in sports. Unlike female athletes, men receive a tremendous amount of media attention than female athletes. Young boys grow up watching television bombarded with heroic images of male athletes. They have something to look up to, while young girls do not receive the same images. Male and female athletes have many equal opportunities when it comes to playing and succeeding in sports. Yet it seems that male sports happen to catch more of the

Should women working in male-dominated fields continue to work longer hours regardless of possible health risks? In today’s society everybody has to work to survive in the world; however, with work comes disadvantages. Over the years there has been an increase in women working in male-dominated fields such as engineering.

Female vs Male Friendships Although friendships in general form for the same reasons of support and companionship, we are able to discern certain differences between male and female friendships. While one is more casual, the other is intimate and personal. Male friendships are laid-back, they have less drama and more fun.
